Friday at 5:00pm Robert Pellegrini landed in Austin - exactly 24 hours after harvest ended for Pellegrini Family Vineyards! Talk about running on adrenaline...his trip to Austin wrapped up the most "high-energy" week TexaCali Wine Co. has accomplished yet! Whewwww- we made it!
So back to Bob's visit...Friday night I whisked him quickly
from the airport to Spanish Oaks CC, for a beautiful sit-down winemaker dinner with members of the club. I'll let the pictures do the talking... As for Saturday, I'd like to thank the accounts we visited for their support and time with Robert while in Austin. Texas is a VERY important market for Pellegrini Family Vineyards and your
enthusiasm for Cloverdale Ranch, Olivet Lane and Pellegrini wines are so appreciated!Also, thanks to everyone who came by the Austin Wine Merchant to meet Mr. Pellegrini and taste through his Olivet Lane Chardonnay, Olivet Lane Pinot Noir, Pellegrini Carignan and Pellegrin Zin...a total treat for all!
We end
ed the 30 hours with a stop into Cork & Co., these guys were fortunate to have visited the Pellegrini Winery a few weeks ago and caught the passion-bug for Pellegrini wines like I did many years ago. Nothing like watching a great college football game in the coolest wine bar on Congress Ave.!Cheers - Ali
